Leadership involves the heavy burden of responsibility, and the fear of getting it wrong can paralyze a leader.

Leaders determine the level of an organization.

Great visions are cast one on one.

Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.

I am convinced more than ever that good communication and leadership are all about connecting. If you can connect with others at every level -one-on-one, in groups, and with an audience-your relationships are stronger, your sense of community improves, your ability to create teamwork increases, your influence increases, and your productivity skyrockets.

If you show people how much you care and ask questions in a non threatening way, you'll be amazed by how much they'll tell you.

There are pockets of the church that will "give up," and reap a bountiful harvest. They are going to have huge success, like the church has never experienced since the Book of Acts.
